Measuring Thermal Conductivity of a Wall: Simulating & Measuring Heat Flow

AI Thread Summary
To measure the thermal conductivity of a wall, the formula K=Q*d/A(t2-t1) is used, where K is conductivity, d is thickness, A is area, and Q is heat flow. The main challenge is simulating heat in the experiment and accurately measuring the heat flow. One suggested approach is to heat a material with known conductivity to minimize heat loss during testing. Effective experimental design and insulation can help achieve more accurate results. Creative thinking and consideration of surrounding factors are also encouraged in the experimental process.

I would like to test the thermal conductivity of r wall by

K=Q*d/ A (t2-t1)

K =conductivity
d+=thickness
A= area

Q= heat flow

my problem how I could simulate heat in my experiment and how I will measure the heat flow?

could you please help me.
Kind regards

By heating the material which you know its heat conductivity if you can provide good experience by close the transmission heat loss to zero.

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
